Hello Falcon & welcome
This sounds perfectly normal to me.
Many teenagers have relationships that are quite shallow, but many, many teenagers fall head-over-heels in love.
For most of these young people, this love will not last, but will always be a special memory for them. (For some, it may be a painful memory.)
When I say that it won't last, I mean that it won't last long-term.
For some, it may actually last a few years.
But teenagers change.
You enter your teens a child and leave your teens an adult. Relationships can rarely cope with these changes and couples grow apart. I have seen this happen many times. Long-term couples, who seem to be set for life, suddenly split up and find new partners.
However, as I have mentioned in other posts, I know a happily-married couple in their late 50s, who started dating at 15. My husband & I are in our early 50s and we started dating in our teens. So it can work for some. And it's great when it does, because there are so many shared memories to enjoy.
You and your boyfriend may stay together for a few weeks, a few years, a few months, or forever ~ all of these possibilities are 'normal'. It is good that you are friends, as well as being boyfriend / girlfriend. It's good that this feels right to you. It's good that you communicate well.
A word of warning, though.
When a relationship feels right and you believe that it may last forever, etc, etc, etc, it may feel 'right' to allow it to become physical.
But what if it doesn't last?
Young people who are in love need to be very wary of putting themselves in difficult situations.
Unplanned pregnancy, disease, emotional turmoil, etc, etc, can all result from getting involved in a sexual relationship too early.
What may feel right in one's teens may be a source of regret in later life.
Not always, of course, but this is certainly worth thinking about.
Good luck!
